WhiteWulfe Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Nothing quite like getting a printer back up and running again after it's been down for some time... So happy to have it running again, doubly so because it means I can start working on parts for my second printer! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Fired up the Saturn 2 for the first time in several months. I feel super anxious, as though I’m expecting it to fail. No idea why I feel this way, since I’ve printed dozens and dozens of build plates in the past 2 years 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Not a complete success, but mostly successful. The fact that the failures are all in one spot suggest it could be that my build plate isn’t 100% level. However, I did leave resin sitting in the vat for the past few months. I cleaned the vat out before running the printer, but it’s possible there was residue left on the FEP that caused a problem with adhesion. A second print should help me figure out what the problem might be. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Stuck with what I intended to order (stls for a couple of upcoming Weds night adventures, including the Halloween one-shot I will run next month sometime) for the MMF Summer sale. Not to bad of a hit to the wallet. There have been sales I've went crazy on, but not this one. I guess buying the Con Box & other minis at RCon is enough for me so far this month. I knew I wanted to get Comet Lord's headless horseman & combo as that one is perfect for the Halloween adventure. There were others that were perfect as well, like a green hag by Claymore. There was a stl from Rocketpig that was perfect for a critter, but it was unavailable. The file had been out for 2 months & such, so I have no idea why. I was able to pick up something that was similar but not exactly what I wanted. Overall, at least I was able to pick everything up for devil's carnival adventure. Some unique encounters in that one. Time to fire the printer back up! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Nothing quite like reaching a certain milestone... All essential parts for Cerberus are printed, just need to print skirts, Nevermore v6, bed fan mounts, and VEFACH. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Second build plate printed without issue. So looks like whatever the issue was either related to what I printed, or was something on the FEP that got removed once I did a tank clean. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously had a Mars 3, but the bigger build plate of the Saturn 2 was definitely worth the upgrade for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 3rd build plate also printed with no fails. 3D printing anxiety definitely subsiding now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neatpete Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Finished what I wanted of these two sets. For now. Took me quite a while. Some delicate and detailed stuff. Not sure how they’ll stand on the table and some of the feet are tiny. Printed most of them at 90% to get them in the 28-30mm area. Everything came out less one candle stick. Will be part of a big asylum project. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be part of a big asylum project. I recognize allot of that scenery pieces. I printed up a few for one of my ReaperCon games this year. I also printed up the armoire for an adventure I ran a few years ago as well (including the one with the arms extended - need to show off a poltergeist). 2 minutes ago, Olaf the Stout said: Nice!

Olaf the Stout Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 The Elegoo Wash station really annoys me. Just fixed it for the second time in a bit over a year. The problem is the spinning platform is held in place by a single screw. Over time that screw vibrates loose and eventually stops spinning, resulting in a big grinding noise that makes you think something has gone horribly wrong. Now the fix is simple, unscrew the bottom of the unit and re-tighten the screw. However, it’s not an obvious solution (I only found the solution by googling), it’s not obvious there’s even something there to tighten and Elegoo don’t supply an Allen key that fits the screw. I had to buy a set of small Allen keys from a hardware store to fix it. The fact that this happens every 6 months shows that it’s a design flaw. On top of that my spinning platform has developed a slight lean, so I needed to jury rig a way to offset that, which took 3 attempts involving lots of screwing and unscrewing each time. It annoys me how cheaply made the thing is for something I consider to be an essential piece of kit. When you open the thing up you can see that it’s just moulded plastic and a couple of dollars of electronics. So it’s no surprise that bits on it break easily. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
